Help with possible court case 1910

[Sumi]

Not much experience researching in Ireland so would really appreciate some help or advice.  A look at FindMyPast at my library shows a record of Jerome CONBA under Courts in 1910 but no details given.  He is not with family in 1911 census so wondering if he was convicted of something in 1910.

Which Conba household is his family?  Have you found him in 1901 census?

Is this his marriage?

Some more information on Jerome Conba (there seems to have been more than one!) might help us find more details for you or suggest where you can search next.

It sounds as though you do have at least one earlier census record for him and have identified his family in the 1911 census (in Ireland?) so you should have an approx. idea of his age even if you don't know his exact date of birth.

People in institutions will be listed in the 1911 Irish census under their intials but it is often possible to use their age, county of birth, marital status, religion, etc. to identify the correct person.
Searching the 1911 census for a male with initials J.C. brings up many possibilities so inserting an age, county of birth, marital status and perhaps occupation might help to see if he's in gaol.

Thank you both for replying.  Yes conahy calling, the family in Kilmallock is correct and the 1909 marriage is his second marriage.  First marriage in Boston USA 1896.  According to his US naturalizationi record he was born Ireland 1873 but it might have been 1870.  He returned to Limerick when his wife died, remarried 1909 but isn't on the 1911 census with the family.

If this is his wife & daughter in 1911- then the head of household (absent) is Jeremiah Conba:

Now that we have a better idea of his age I searched 1911 census for male called J.C., married, living in Co. Limerick, aged about 39 (which gives results +/- 5 years) and only get 1 result- this one's a mason (does that seem likely?), born Limerick City.

If you have a look you might find a more likely candidate.

Thank you for showing me the page that listed heads of house.....I missed that.  I couldn't see a J C occ mason on that link but that could be him.  I need to get more information from my friend as Jeremiah A's birth was August 1870 but Jerome A's birth on naturalization is Nov 1873...could be same person but in my own family we have later son's with same name as a son who died in infancy, to keep a name in the family.

many thanks

The 1911 census return covers several pages, here's the one to look at-
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Limerick_South_Rural/Spital_Land__Pt__of_/624837/
then click 'show all information' and search for mason using Ctrl + f on your keyboard
This is the page with full details, including the fact that he'd previous attacks of mania and was presently in 9 months:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002745497/

Perhaps not enough matches to be your 'missing' Jerome Conba.

[Sumi]

that's very useful information....very grateful.   We'll go back to existing family records to see if this fits.

regards

Sue
